I had spider bite that took several months to heal, it was NOT pleasant.

[quote name='philothea' date='Jul 3 2005, 12:19 AM']I am pretty certain that they're recluses. (I always called them "violin spiders" before the hoopla about brown recluses.)  They don't make webs.  They hide behind things and then come out to hunt, I guess.  Sometimes they sleep in little silk cocoons, in a corner, or behind a picture frame.

When I see one I put a drop of water on a hard surface nearby and it'll rush over and drink.  :ph34r:

Maybe they understand that I like spiders.

Yeah, they probably are BRs, from what I hear BRs like moist areas, water, etc. and Black Widows like dry areas.

We have lots of regular little brown spiders and some little little blackish jumpy ones, but I've never seen anything scarier than that around my house (praise God... I'm not afraid of spider, I am afraid of poisonous thingys).

Spiders are intrinsically evil.

If you want to kill the poor little guy faster, drop a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol into the jar.

The deadly spiders (brown recluse, black/brown widows) have a few variations. If it's got a fiddle or a red hour glass - watch out.

I've killed both brown recluses and black widows around my house.


God Bless,

Iron Monk was bitten by one time as well. Rather painful.

And the bands probably mean he was a sub-species or something.

Ironically Brown recluse feed on dead insects, so if you call an eterminator, more will show up unless you tell him that there is a recluse infestation.
